Hi all,
When creating schema mappings in the Console, if you select the "AccountId"
or "Password" checkbox the "external attributes" tab gets blanked out.
Should the "Mandatory" value also change to "true" by default for each of
these cases (but remain editable)? I would imagine that for most cases when
mapping a account name + password, it must be mandatory.
Hi Colm,
* for AccountId it does not make any sense to select a value other than
true for "Mandatory", so +1 for your proposed change plus making not
editable
* for Password, in my experience generally this is propagated to one
or two external resources (normally the Access Manager or its underlying
user repository) and ignored for other external connected resources, so
I would leave it as is ("false" by default, and editable).
Perhaps the "Mandatory" tab should be moved to the right of the passwords tab
as part
of this, so that a user wouldn't have to change the value back if they want
it to be false.
+-0
Regards.
